Ruby snatches her baby back from Temple, and sits down with the child on her lap. She asks Temple to go get the baby a diaper from the line outside, but Temple is too scared so Ruby has to do it herself. She comes back and changes the baby's diaper, and then returns him to his box. Ruby says she will get a car for Gowan and Temple if Temple promises to leave and never come back.

Summary: 

Hearing Ruby's story of her life and already frightened by the men in the house, Temple is too afraid to fetch Ruby a diaper from the clothesline.
